    1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper and set to one side.
    2. In a bowl place flour, oats and parsley. Stir together to mix ingredients evenly.
    3. Add kumara, peanut butter and egg and mix thoroughly. Slowly add water to make a firm dough. Knead with your hands for a few minutes to make a smooth dough.
    4. Place dough between 2 pieces of baking paper. Using a rolling pin, roll out to about 1/2cm thick.
    5. Peel back top piece of baking paper and use cutter to cut out cookies. Reroll remaining dough and cut out more cookies. Slide a knife under each shape to loosen it from the paper and then place on prepared baking trays. Repeat until all dough is used up.
    6. Bake for 25 minutes or until cookies are firm and golden brown. Cool completely before placing in a container and sealing.

    Variations

    You can replace mashed kumara with 1 small mashed ripe banana, but you won’t have to add any water to the mixture.

    These cookies can be kept for 7 days.
